Bulbophyllum woelfliae

A Philippine Bulbophyllum described by Garay, Senghas and Lemcke and assessed as endangered by the IUCN. Its only well-located records come from a small riverside site in the headwaters of the Abra River in the Cordillera Central of northern Luzon. Little is published about its ecology, so the growing conditions here are inferred from that locality and from related Philippine species.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic. The only habitat note, from herbarium specimens, is 'along small river' at the headwaters of a tributary of the Abra River in the Cordillera Central, Luzon. Details of host trees and light exposure are not recorded.

No elevation is recorded. The headwaters of the Abra River lie in mountainous terrain, so it is likely a hill or lower montane species, but this is unconfirmed.

Philippines: Luzon (Abra, Cordillera Central)
